>Environmental groups have lodged complaints with the EU, citing concerns that the project will impact migratory birds

Seems like environmental groups oppose absolutely any infrastructure construction. It really dilutes actual concerns, because they get categorized into the “usual complaints” bucket.

15.5 billion? Who would spend 25 billion on a bridge? Wow, amazing how they think a 35 billion bridge to Sicily would be worth it.

I saw a video about how crazy of an engineering challenge this will be. I guess the pricetag is evidence of that. I hope it pays off for them.
